"I prepared this recipe the first time. I used 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. I also used 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. baking soda, 1-1/2 tsp. root beer concentrate, in addition to the 2 eggs, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, the 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon & allspice and the 1 cup A & W Root Beer. I used 1 can of classic White Butter Frosting from Pillsbury and added 1-1/2 tsp. root beer concentrate to the frosting to give it a root beer flavor. I also found that I was able to get 17 cupcakes out of the recipe! I baked the cupcakes 20 minutes and the cupcakes tested done with a cake tester. They are moist cupcakes-I admit that they didn't HAVE too much of a root beer flavor, though! It's possible that the cupcakes might need to mature! The icing had the light root beer color-I think that it's possible that the icing too, would need to mature! This was a clever idea and recipe to share with the online Taste of Home recipe collection! I had to find a recipe for using root beer or birch beer or beer for a Cook's Corner Ingredient challenge! I'm glad, Dot Kraemer, that I did get to test your recipe! delowenstein"

"I just want to comment on Wingding52 review. That comment about the kids "enjoying" diabetes when they grow up is/was uncalled for. Why would you get pleasure out of hurting the millions of people who has diabetes, or their children who are predisposed to getting the disease through genetics? Diabetes is not necessarily food consumption related."

"Yuk

Bet your kids will enjoy diabetes when they get older. Not much interesting in the cupcake recipe, standard as most. Whipped topping and more sugar on top."

"NAw, these do not taste like root beer cupcakes. Big disappointment. Blah, I think I would have added more spice to them to make them better. Not a good choice, but had to find out for myself."
